So of course in repacking my stuff this morning I found my missing headphones. I have no idea how I couldn't find them yesterday....Magic probably :). I have a headache but am hoping coffee and painkiller will dissolve it soon, as I want to go look around, get some cash, and possibly a SIM card?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Headache-begone-ma, meara! That's too funny about the headphones

Woe to the fucking wicked.

billytea, I expect you're going to Oahu, but if you happen to be going to Kona/Big Island, let me know!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We went to the Ren Fest today for a few hours. (That was as much as Mr. S could handle.) Came home, changed clothes, bathed and changed the boy as he had gotten sand and dirt all over. Went to a friend's party for an hour and are now home. The battle to get Mr. S into bed has started.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I have finished reading a book, read a magazine, and took TCG out to dinner for his birthday. We also slept in until 10 after Francesca woke up at 6:45. Almost feeling human again.

Our wings are not tired.

My nephew called this morning and asked if I wanted to join on a mountain hike. Just a couple miles into the woods to a dam and back. Was good to move some after sitting on my butt all week. After the rest of the gang went up the ski lift to leaf peep, but I am way too leery of heights and declined that part. BTDT, not happening again!

That sounds nice Laura!!

My tour has begun! Didn't think I'd have to sit through a PowerPoint presentation, but oh well. 7 people, one canceled last minute so the girl I was going to have to share with gets her own room and so do I!! One 75 year old from Florida, one grumpy seeming dude who asked about a pharmacy so I'm hoping he was just not feeling well, one woman from Vancouver who seems awesome and is probably a little younger than me, and one guy from australia who is maybe in his 40s. Two more will join tomorrow, a couple from New Zealand. So hoping this should be good!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Who's the tour through, meara? That sounds so great.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yes. That sounds fantastic!

I got some quality time with family (what's left of them) yesterday. Still can't believe my cousin is gone, since he was pretty much Lebowski's rug and really pulled the family together.

Today is more hanging, as everyone disperses to far places. I'm worried I won't see some of these people until the next funeral.

G Adventures (used to be GAP travel I think?) but it's a tour they do along with National Geogrphic so I assumed it would be an older crowd
